JoAnn and Danielle began the “Walk in My Shoes” photojournalism project, the aim of which was for students to capture narratives of their daily lives through photography and journalism. Each student was provided a disposable camera to use in school and at home (thank you Henderson Coin Drive donations) and each student compiled a personal journal to share with his or her penpal.
The process began when Kilimani students read Henderson student journals and made observations. After reading and sharing, they then brainstormed ideas for their own journals and wrote a rough draft. When rough drafts were finished, each student conferred with either JoAnn or Danielle and then revised his or her writing in preparation for the final draft.
The process was enlightening to say the least! It was really fun for us to experience first hand in an instructional setting the many similarities and differences between our students and the Killmani students. Enjoy some of these photos of the “Take a Walk in My Shoes” writing process…
